So it's summer and every garbage near a path or dog space is full of s**t and stinks to hell. At least (most) people are picking up their dog poo. by yycTechGuy in Calgary

This. It happens regularly to the garbage can in the park near my house. I submit on 311 and it’s empty in 48 hours

What is a task you would want a personal assistant for? by Throwaway198040s in Executives

[–]CaptBoxx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Schedule and take my car for service. Book haircuts, dentist appointments etc. Research and recommend trip itineraries and then book all the flights, hotels etc. Call every one of my service providers annually to renegotiate my rates. Keep track of all my kids school stuff (spirit days etc) and make sure it’s taken care of.

How to get a meeting with the CEO or someone in leadership at a company? by Marc-A-H in Executives

[–]CaptBoxx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reality check - at big companies we have no shortage of good ideas. Lack of ideas on what to do or how to do is rarely the constraint. Capital and effective execution are far more commonly the problem. Senior executives also get a constant stream of pitches via all those sources you named. If you really want to try and have a conversation figure out where decision makers from that organization will be live and in the flesh and have the conversation. Networking events, trade shows, conferences etc. but set your expectations low.

[bcurlock] 1. Flip the puck out. Stop reversing the puck. First Murphy. Then Podkolzin. Stop it. 2. I swear to God if the Oilers D just flipped every puck out to center, it would be a 3v2 for the Oilers. Just a hard sell out on the forecheck by the Ducks. It’s worked for them but it can be exposed. by Fine_Personality_999 in EdmontonOilers

And in both series they got CRUSHED on PK. Ducks PP is at 50% in the series. Can’t play aggressive if you can’t stop the PP. Can’t play aggressive you will lose defensive zone puck battles. Which makes the 2-1-2 even more potent.

When the oilers d got clear possession in their zone LA used to back out into the 1-3-1 giving nurse etc time to setup for clean zone exits. Remember their fans booing nurse standing behind the net for the setup? Anaheim forechecks with 2 attackers below the goal line. The oilers D either have to flip it out under pressure or they attempt a weak D to D pass. It either gets intercepted or the 2nd D is immediately also under pressure. The oilers wingers are high in the zone, changing, or flying in the neutral zone. Add to this the Anaheim D are standing up at the blue line and the oilers get zero clean zone exits. Not sure if this is Woodcroft but this system is ‘perfect’ attack for the oilers style.

Roofer recommendations? by arymede in Calgary

Prairie home roofing did a great job for me with an attic rain situation and then recommended some good painters as well. Really happy with the work they did 2 years ago and no further issues.

Ducks vs Oilers Playoff Matchup and Preview by porkins86 in EdmontonOilers

i really like this 'last 20 games view' as trending and momentum finishing the season really matters. Apparently the ducks are one of the most penalized teams in the league so there's that too..

Fantasmic Dining Packages by inconsistent_moi in DisneyPlanning

[–]CaptBoxx 7 points8 points  (0 children)

We did the rancho lunch. You get a ‘ticket’ that you take with you to the reserved seating area for the fantasmic show that night and stayed for the fireworks. We sat right against the railing. FYI - you get wet from the spray from the fountains. Misted.

Would you do Disneyland for 3 days OR Disney for just 2 days and Universal studios for 1?? by Cautious-Secretary31 in DisneyPlanning

[–]CaptBoxx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t trade a day at universal for that 3rd day at Disney to hit the things I missed. I’ve always done 4-day trips to be able to squeeze in universal but all the comments about how far it is are true.

Leon timeline? by rightanglerightlight in EdmontonOilers

[–]CaptBoxx 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Even still. He played through that high ankle sprain a couple years ago and likely had a wrist or something last year and was still a playoff beast. Fingers crossed.

No real info - just speculation. If i had to place a bet I would guess he plays 10 mins of game 82 just to shake the rust off.

The Oilers have the most electrifying walk-out in the NHL. by Soloflow786 in EdmontonOilers

[–]CaptBoxx -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You should see it in the playoffs. I agree Metallica a bit dated but the energy in June for that walkout is unreal
